This whole fusing vodka with other flavors has now officially jumped the shark.
From Urban Daddy we learn of the "Grilled Cheese Martini."

Introducing the Grilled Cheese Martini, a comfort food cocktail that counts grilled-cheese-flavored vodka as its main ingredient, available off-menu now at Beecher’s.
Let’s begin with some seemingly arbitrary numbers: 37. 24. 1.
37: tries it took a team of bartenders to successfully fuse vodka and grilled cheese.
24: hours that the sandwich is left to sit in a vat of vodka.
1: amount of times before tonight this has been served on American soil.
To sample this once-in-a-generation scientific spirit breakthrough, head deep down into the Cellar at Beecher’s, a fortress of glass, steel and aging cheese. Once inside, grab a server and tell them you require a sandwich. On the rocks.
What happens next can only be described as a deft blend of magic, lunacy and lunch. Into a cocktail mixer go vine-ripe tomatoes, muddled basil, tomato juice and a healthy pour of that double-filtered grilled cheese vodka.
Here's another number: 0.
That's the appropriate number of times any respectable person should ever order a martini with another food in it.
